Sec. 45. On the first Monday of May

courts in his county, all the land3 on which
the taxes for the previous year remain

Sec 46. The person who offers to
pay the amount due on any parcel of land
or the smallest partion of the same, is to
be considered the highest bidder, and
when such portion constitutes a half or
more of the parcel, it is to be taken from
the east side thereof, dividing it by a line
running north and south except that town
otsare to be divided in such case length
wise by a line parallel with the proper
mes of the lots. If the portion taken be
ess than one-half of the parcel, it is to be
taken from the south-east corner in a
square form, as nearly as the form of the
and will conveniently permit. The pre-
ceeding provisions of this section are sub-
ect to the following qualifications: the
homestead is liable to be sold for no tax
ave that which is due upon itself exclu
sively, and the above directions concern
ing the division of a tract of land shall be
modified so as to meet this requirement,
and to that end the quantity of land bid,
may be obtained by drawing the division
me in any direction or form, so as to
avoid the homestead, -and when the home
stead constitutes a part of the tract or
parcel sold, and is not yet ascertained, the
court may in the action hereafter author
ized, at the suggestion of either party,
cause proceedings to be had similar to
that required in relation to mechanics
ems, for the ascertainment of the home
stead ; and in all other cases of such sales
it may take the requisite order and pro
ceedings to ascertain the land sold, and to

What to dor ia Cases or Accident
If a man faints away, instead of yel
ling out like a savage, or running to him
to lift him up,- lay him at fall length oa
his back on' the floor, lousea the clothing,
push the crowd away so sis id allow the'
air to to reach him, and let him alone.
Dashing water over a person in a simple
fainting fit is a barbarity', a:ntf soils the
clothing unnecessarily. The philosophy
of a ftfrntfng-fit fs, the heart fails to send
the proper supply.of Uood to the brain if
the person is erect, that blood has to .be
thrown up hill, but if lying down, it has
to Jbe projected horizontalfy-iwhich re- '
quires less ower, is apgarerVt. .
If a person swallows poison, deliber
ately ct by chance, instead of breaking
out into multitudinous and fncoherent ex
clamations, dispatch some one for a doc
tor; meanwhile run to the kitchen, get.
half a pint of water in anything that is
hatiay, put into rt a teaspoon full of .salt
and as much ground mustard, stir, it an
instant, catch a firm hold 6f the person's
nose, the moath .wrU soch' fly - open, then
down with the mixture, and in a second .
or two up will come the poise h.- This

If a limb or other parts of the body" is
severely cut, and the blood comes ou; by
pins ana jerics, "per saltern, as .doctors
say, be in a hurry, er the man will be
dead in fife minutes; there is no time to
alk or s6nd for a physician ; say nothing,
out with your handkerchief, throw, it
around the. limb, then, twist it around,-
tighter and tighter, until the blood ccae,s
to flow. Only a severed artery throws
blood out in iets. and the arteries ret
their blood from the heart; hence,- to
stop the flow the remedy must be apnlidd
between the heart and the wounded spot
in other words, above the wound. If a
vein has been severed, the blood ,wpuTd
have flowed in a regular stream, and oh
the other hand, the tie should be applied
beiow the wound, or on the -other side bf
the wound from the heart, and there is
no need of such great haste. " .

wholly a spiritual developement, with
nothing natural or material about it. It is
